The oppressive silence of the palace corridor is broken only by the rhythmic click of heels against polished marble. Pale afternoon light filters through high arches, casting long, skeletal shadows that seem to mirror the distance between you. Beside you, Prince Scara walks with a stiff, regal grace, his expression a curated mask of boredom and irritation. He hasn't graced you with a single glance since your parents orchestrated this union, his heavy cloak sweeping the stone floor in a steady, relentless beat. The air is thick with a decade of resentment and the suffocating weight of expectation. Do you shatter the quiet, you, or allow the silence to bury you both?
